Tell Us What You Think

If you authenticate your cell lines – either yourself, or by sending samples to a core facility or external testing service – your experience can help us plan for the future.

But whether you authenticate your samples or not, all scientists are encouraged to complete the survey to give ICLAC an understanding of what you test, how you test, and identify the critical obstacles that hinder testing.

The goal of this survey is to identify solutions to make authentication accessible to our entire community.

Participate, #authenticate

The Global Biological Standards Institute (GBSI) has launched the #authenticate campaign to raise awareness regarding the importance of cell line authentication.

Cell lines are authenticated to confirm their identity, ensuring that they come from the correct species and match other samples from the same individual. Testing helps to ensure that cell lines are good models for research across the life sciences.
